Last year, when the power mower was broken and wouldn't run, I kept
hinting to my husband that he ought to get it fixed, but somehow the
message never sank in.
Finally I thought of a clever way to make the point. When my husband
arrived home that day, he found me seated in the tall grass, busily
snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. He watched silently
for a short time and then went into the house.
He was gone only a few moments when he came out again. He handed me a
toothbrush. "When you finish cutting the grass," he said, "you might
as well sweep the sidewalks."
The doctors say he will probably live, but it will be quite awhile
before the cast will be off!!!
